We were leading 1-0 and then it was unfortunate that we did not defend well in the second half as they got a foul and used it to get a goal. The two recent draws are a plus for us but it there are not very favorable because we are in the red line still. We need to win matches so that we can step up and be comfortable,” Kenyatta said.Reflecting on their second leg of the season so far, the tactician admitted that it has not been a smooth one considering the problems they have had this season but noted that things have since changed.Sofapaka, Talanta play out to consecutive draw in Monday’s FKFPL actionWith 25 matches played, Talanta are 13th with 26 points and Kenyatta’s focus is to pick maximum points in the remaining matches to ensure a comfortable finish to the campaign.”It has been hard because we had some challenges but things have changed. Our focus is is to pick three points in every match and we are going to try our best to achieve that. We got some of our players from Division two who are still young in the league,” he added.Up next for Talanta is an away trip to Mombasa to play Bandari at Mbaraki Sports Grounds on Saturday.
